. I even used an old (but very nice) sandblasted manzanita branch that I used 20 something years ago with finches... It had a couple spots of 20 year old poop that was petrified on there, and it was hard to remove lol!
And man, what a palace of a cage!

So he/she came home today and had a vet visit as well. This baby was handfed and is tame! They kept the baby and the sibling until they were weaned for over a week, maintaining weight, AND even eating broccoli and other fresh foods. (what store does all that?!) I was impressed.
So sweet and adorable. Much bigger and fluffier than Twigs the American keet. They're calling from the other room to each other.
One of the vet tests I had done was DNA sexing. From what I've read about the cere appearance of babies, I'm thinking female. We'll see.
Still as of now, no name. I was originally thinking Olive, since the color upon first glance is olive. In good light it's actually a blue wash over yellow, and might change further after the first molt, so I hesitate to base the name on color.
Here's the cute baby!
Okay, here's more pics of Mink
Not much variety in the pics lol, until she could get around and "do" more things.
Check out the cute eyes hidden under there! It will be interesting to see her next to Twigs. The size difference and different look. Almost seems like the American and English are two different species.
There are some imperfect areas on her front where the vet took some feathers for the DNA test. Free vet exam and discounted other services from getting her at the certain store.
